Happy Friday!

**Next week looks like it’s going to be a hot one! If your child does not already have a swimsuit or attire that they could wear for water play here at WWF, please bring this in by Monday! Thanks so much.

Lulu, Saskia, and Naia went on a walk this morning. We spotted a few birds, flowers, and the mail truck! We always enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood.

When we got back, friends went straight for the bikes! Lulu and Saskia went down the hill as fast as they could while Naia enjoyed reading many stories.

Children gathered on the deck and had group Lego time. Most friends decided to get a Lego car and drive it around the deck.

A little bit before lunch, we had a visitor in the back yard. All of a sudden, Lucy started screaming and pointing to the garage. She had spotted a pigeon. We quickly found out that this pigeon was a very friendly bird. He/She swooped into the yard where it walked around for awhile. A couple of us were not too sure about this friendly creature but Lucy and Tate were determined to catch it! We talked about how birds are nice and wouldn’t hurt our bodies but that we could keep our distance and watch with our eyes.

It finally left us and we waved goodbye to the friendly pigeon.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

At breakfast this morning, Owen asked “How can fish hold their breath for so long?”  By the time most of our Wee Friends had arrived, this question had turned into a coral reef sensory exploration.

The latter part of our morning was spent walking and discovering a tree being cut down. This held our interest for quite a while. We walked back along the train tracks.

Hello!

This morning, Lulu serenaded us with her version of, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” which then proceeded to lead into the “ABC’s”. You could hear friends throughout the room following her lead Smile.

Maya waved a BIG hello to her sister Eve next door this morning!

IMG_2281IMG_2282

Not only did Anna enjoy some floor time (she’s rocking out the tummy time!) but she also saw her brother Owen outside. Two thumbs up.

This mornings sensory activity was tempera paint.

IMG_2299IMG_2305

Our tempera paint activity resulted in an exploration about tap. We learned:

1. It’s very sticky.

2. After you play with it enough, it ends up being a ball.

3. When you stick it in your hair, you might have a hard time getting it out . (ouch)

Good Afternoon!

Since it was such a beautiful day, we tried to get as much outside time as possible!

IMG_2185IMG_2186

Naia was a big help this morning. She helped the older kids shuck the corn that Wee friends had for lunch!

IMG_2191IMG_2193

Saskia and Lulu worked up a sweat as they ran around outside.

IMG_2210IMG_2207

With all of our friends being up this afternoon, we were all able to go outside!

IMG_2233IMG_2234

Sibling love was all around us. Eve said, “I love playing with Maya all day long!” The younger sibling as well as the older sibling are always so excited to see one another outside. Even though they’re not in the same house, they’re able to interact throughout the day Smile.

A BIG welcome back from vacation! Hope everyone enjoyed their time home or on a vacation.

We were all smiles today as friends came in the door. Well ok..maybe not all smiles. It’s hard to leave Mommy and Daddy after spending a whole week with them! We sure do love our parents! As with anything in life, we had to get back into the swing of things.

IMG_2148IMG_2155IMG_2173

Friends headed outside this morning. Saskia enjoyed playing in the house while Naia covered her legs with sand.

IMG_2087IMG_2100IMG_2095

While our older friends napped, Lucy, Tate, and Maya had playtime in the gross motor area. We loved putting the rings on our head and then taking them off. Tate manipulated the colored blocks, flipping them over on their side to see what else he could do with the block.

IMG_2107IMG_2108IMG_2117

With the torrential downpour this afternoon, we stayed inside and got out a few sensory activities. Naia and Saskia worked with birdseed. They both enjoyed getting birdseed into a cup and then pouring it into a bowl. The movement of the birdseed made for nice background noise with the rain!

For breakfast, children had toast with soy butter and banana. Lunch consisted of whole grain noodles with kidney beans, cantaloupe, and peas. PM snack was animal crackers and cheddar block cheese.

Have a lovely night!
